Day 4 Sightseeing and Lunch with Uncle Bill

At last the rain has stopped and Fairy took Flat Stanley to see some of the famous sights around Sydney.

But first look how close someone has parked Nicola's car?



















Flat Stanley was surprised at how many cars, buses and people were out and about on a Sunday morning.


















Wow he even saw a horse float, and Fairy told Flat Stanley about Heath's 3 time great grandfather, Reuben Uther who lived just where this photo was taken in a house that was built a very long time ago and was replaced long before Fairy was born. Reuben lived there before there were any cars, and it is said he had the finest set of bay's in town! What a conicidence that the horse float went by just as Fairy was showing Flat Stanley the part of the street where Grandma Otton's Grandmother was born.



So off they went, past Chinatown, where Heath and Daisy had played on the rotunda just a few weeks ago.


















On to Darling Harbour,


then towards the bridge - Fairy told Flat Stanley that the granite that was used to build the pylons came from Moruya, not too far from Bega. Flat Stanley liked the art in the round about of the crushed car.




























Look through under the bridge it is the Opera House!


















Finally we drove over the bridge and on to the Northern Beaches. After seeing so many traffic lights, cars buses and tall buildings, Flat Stanley was surprised to see bush in the city. He almost felt homesick, but going to meet Uncle Bill was too exciting a thought to get homesick.


Uncle Bill gave Flat Stanley a big hug,



later they met Hans and Marg for lunch. Uncle Bill said look Fairy is having a flat fish for Flat Stanley. Do you know what sort of fish it is? Lemon Sole.



















On the way home we went over the bridge again and saw the Opera House again.

























Everyone was so tired when they got home, Fairy told Flat Stanley to have a rest as tomorrow was going to be a really big day.
